instument panel illumination

i have just bought a 98 S-10 and my lights in the instument panel doesnt work....my digital odometer and all the warning lights still light up does this mean that its a fuse or does it mean that the bulb is out?

Just did mine.Very easy to fix.They take 194 clear bulbs.The catch is that you have to get the sockets at a store like NAPA.

I have a 94 with analog guages, I had all but one bulb burn out on me at the 8 year mark. It was somewhat of a hassle to change, but when you do change them, replace all the bulbs, it's worth it.

As for me, I had gotten a bulb at a local dealership, they charged me $8.00. I was shocked, turns out it's a bulb with a special base. I ended up buying them online for about $1.50 each. Go to www.Buy-OEM-parts.com I've found them to be the best online site for prices. And but all my stuff from them. Also, they are VERY Good to deal with.
